Everything Means Nothing If...

"You know that I hate to admit it

Everything means Nothing if I can't have You."

It was a slow day at the hotel, since Charlie was out with Alastor and won't be back later tonight. The only ones present at the lobby were Vaggie, Angel, Elusive and her sisters: Illusion and Feint. Most of the demons were in their rooms while some were at the bar being entertained by Husk.

The sisters fitted themselves comfortably on the larger sofa, looking like birds perched on a tree, and each holding something keeping them occupied. Elusive reading a book titled: Flora de Filipinas, Feint bearing a sketchbook drawing whatever comes to mind and Illusion with her phone, while Vaggie and Angel were seated on a sofa half the size of the former, each also with reading material on hand.

The three sisters eyed them as if they were prey making the other two uneasy, knowing their somewhat unpredictable behavior and prey drive, little did the two know that they were just curious that they were able to share a small space without any fuss, thinking that would they fight over for space but instead they see both made adjustments that they see fit, and seeing them like this amazed the three sisters.

The silence went on for a quite while until Elusive started tapping her tail and started to sing, starting off as a soft voice audible only to her sisters near her.

Elusive: "I'm so sorry that my timing's off

But I can't move on if we're still gonna talk"

And as if on instinct Feint and Illusion started to sing along with their older sister. Feint continues the song while tapping the pencil on her sketchbook, with Illusion tapping the arm of the sofa with her other hand, all on par with the rhythm of Elusive's tail.

Feint: "Is it wrong for me to not want half?
I want all of you, all the strings the attached"

The song grows more audible as if they want to be heard, Angel and Vaggie upon hearing their song just kept quiet and enjoyed the melodic voices that now fills the room.

Angel however, upon hearing this particular line began to stir but not enough for Vaggie to take notice.

Illusion: "Oh, I'm good at keepin' my distance"

Feint and Illusion: "I know that you're the feelin' I'm missing"

Elusive: "You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothin' if I can't have you"

"I can't write one song that's not about you

Can't drink without thinkin' about you

Is it too late to tell you that

Everything means nothing if I can't have you"

Hearing the words of what appears to be the chorus of their song stung him for whatever reason especially that last line:

Everything means nothing if I can't have you.

Why do I feel like this is directed at me? Angel muttered, putting down his magazine and starts to think. He knows that the sisters are capable of manipulating their prey through the songs they sing.

The singing voices grow softer, as the other two continue to listen.

Elusive: "I'm trying to move on

Forget you, but I hold on"

Feint and Illusion: "Everything means nothing

Everything means nothing, babe"

They were just singing right?

It's not like the song was intended for him.

The thoughts stress him out even further leaving him very confused not wanting to press more into the subject, he decides to just enjoy and listen to their song. As the song grew soft so did Angel. The sudden calm of his thoughts had his arms slowly snake their way onto Vaggie's waist thinking it was a pillow while the rest of his form starts curl to around the grey demon.

Um Angel? I'm not a pillow. Vaggie stated slightly annoyed.

The spider's only response was nuzzling his head against her torso as his arms hug her lower half even more.

Vaggie, unable to escape her captor only hopes that whatever the spider is doing doesn't escalate in to something she deems undesirable. She can only wait until the songs reaches its end, even she is aware of the sisters' way of manipulation through music.

Elusive: "I'm trying to move on

Forget you, but I hold on"

Feint and Illusion: "Everything means nothing if I can't have you"

After that line was said Vaggie felt the arms hugging her waist seem to hug her even tighter as if he didn't want to let her go.

As the song comes to its close the voices grow louder when singing their chorus.

"I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that –

The song comes to quick stop as Feint out of nowhere pulls out a flute playing the melody of the last line of the chorus.

They repeat their chorus once more.

I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that –

As they were about to finish, they were interrupted by a voice not of their own.

Everything means nothing if I can't have You...

The voice concluded the song and has fallen asleep with their arms not letting go of their "pillow".

The three sisters now staring the pair from across the room are bewildered by what the spider had uttered. Vaggie was just as surprised as they are as she looked down on his sleeping form.

Silence fills the lobby once more as the three girls return to what they were previously doing before their song.

Elusive glances at the pair and sees that Vaggie has returned to her reading and also spots her other hand petting Angel's head as if he were a cat.

She turns to her sisters and whispers to them

Looks like it checks out.
